As stated by many others Hornby decoders are no good for the Heljan 47's due to the high current draw that the motors need. They like to go up in smoke in no time. Bachmann 3 function decoders are what I have used in them with absolutely no problems but its all down to preference and budgets.

Pro weathered?? Another example of someone ruining a fairly sought after model. I'd buy it if i was confident enough that i could remove the 'pro' job without ruining the model. http://tinyurl.com/gr6en9k

A truly remarkable achievement by all who are involved. I can see Starcross and Dawlish Warren from my window across the estuary and at night you can see the tower lights where the work is happening. I will be using the line again to go and visit the girlfriend on a regular basis. Well done to all and a big thanks to 'Captain Kernow' for supplying us all with regular pictures, updates and all of the other things he has taken time to supply us with.

According to a well known Exeter driver on another forum there is a FGW HST (5c95) moving west in the early hours of friday morning.

Has this guy been on the glue? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EWS-Class-47-N-Gauge-No-66167-/331157250231?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item4d1a82a0b7

How on earth is this 67 worth this much?? Limited edition i know but did they only make 1? I expect you could get 3 resprayed into that livery and still have change from that!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-OO-R3216-DIAMOND-JUBILEE-CLASS-67-DB-SCHENKER-/201046679665?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2ecf50e071

Don't forget that those sections are strengthened with steel bars/rods inside. Possibly tougher to break than the original wall as that is likely to just be stone cemented together just like a traditional wall. Always open to being corrected though of course.

His other items must be limited edition as well then judging by some prices! Anyone want a 'Liner' 57....... Edit: Going by the feedback it seems its yet another person who snaps up the limited editions and then sells them on with an even bigger mark up!

Is there a possibility we can have an 'I'm absolutely stunned' button?

I believe that they replace some of the material daily that gets 'knocked off' by the waves at high tide. The containers have certainly taken a battering since they have been in situ so keeping them brimmed/topped with stone etc will ensure that they continue to give some protection against the waves.

You mean 47745, not 746

You not missing all your layout stuff already...

And incorrect ETH boxes....
